Mold covering my basement shelving
Hello. Over the winter (northeast USA) I removed old wooden shelving in my basement and replaced with more sturdy metal frame shelving, but the shelf itself is still wood. Well over the past week it got very humid. I went to the basement and found all the wood covered in mold.
I never noticed any mold on the old shelves, so I’m not sure where it came from. My questions are: is it safe to be in the basement with all this mold? Is there a way to remove it from the wood? Is there a way to prevent it from popping up again? Thank you!
